A plug for "Bits for Subaru" the wreckers

[gazzy2000]

Hey,

Just wanted to plug the wrecking yard called "Bits for Isuzu & Subaru" in Auckland

I have been quering them on and off for parts for my TT to T conversion, i finally settled on what i need after many a discussuion with them and they were really helpful.

I delt with a chap call Gerard. They even followed up with a phone call to let me know when to expect the parts (i am in Timaru) and asked if there was any other bits i thought i needed.

Bloody good compared to some of the redneck wreckers i have delt with and their prices were very good too!

nice one Bits for subaru! good attitudes, nice prices, great service!! A++

I recommend to all.

Cheers

Gary

you might also want to try Clunie Automotive/ Subaru WREX here in Christchurch too.

I have bought and sold many bits and bobs to them and found them to be pretty realistic to deal with.

just remember that these guys will sometimes forget to tell you there is gst on top of the price they give you.

who did u deal with there??

i got ripped by someone there, had a quote for a vf23 turbo for $300, next week it went to $400

then when i picked it up the next day it was $450 +gst and a vf24 not 23.

2 weeks later and wastegate sticks open causing boost spiking to 24psi

Clunies have beenn awesome to me-got the 250T from them and they've looked after me really well

Have any of you ChCh people tried Rosco's in Ashburton? Always found them to be much cheaper than most of the local wreckers and they courier stuff up here cheaply.

I am officially their highest paying retail customer...have spent THOUSANDS there and as such I know all the mean deals and who to deal with

Always talk to Gerald or Nick. They know what they are talking about. The others on are n00bs, or don't know Subarus nearly as well... Gerald happens to be a guru, and will get you the right stuff. Be nice and he might even give you a wee discount.

Jono - chances are you were dealing with a range of the guys. Their VF24s are actually closer to $800 retail, so you got one HELL of a bargain as it is. Some parts also come with a warranty...so ask when you get the parts. Some are startup, or a period of months. Gearboxes are startup as are motors...others often have more of a warranty on them.

yup

bits for subaru are awesome fellas

theres a dude there with a bc5, with probably no bc5 parts in it what so ever, think its all wrx, sounds brilliant

[Shale]

Sounds like The Man himself. Epic BC5 with as much attitude as is possible ;D So he knows all about the damn things.
